Andy Cronin, Avolon CEO, commented:
"The third quarter showed the continuing positive trajectory of our financial performance, helped by strong demand for aircraft and rising lease rates. We continued to support our customers' demand for capital and have underwritten US$2.9 billion in new sale and leaseback volume year to date. These transactions, along with lease extensions and aircraft placed from our orderbook at attractive lease rates, will drive our long-term profitability. We expect the current strong demand for travel and undersupply of aircraft to remain for the foreseeable future."
